This is where I work. It's the landing outside our bedroom. My wife found that desk for me on Craigslist and I am eternally grateful to her for it. She also found me that awesome chair from around the same period.
She's lovey that way.
The bottom drawer has this old, glued-on card that says, "1936 Boston Red Sox Baseball Cards". It's quite perverse how much I like that card. The desk has a deep history, as evidenced by the 1/8" layer of pockmarked varnishes on the top.
Those are three of my guitars (in their black cases) in the background: a 1974 Ibanez Les Paul copy, a black Epiphone acoustic, and an acoustic I bought back in 1983 called a Mountain. It has a real Martin top on it, and sounds very, very "warm".
Yes, I am a guitar geek when I'm not writing.
Anyway, that's where I struggle almost everyday with this writing thing I love so much.
The desk and chair really do suit you and your writing style. Unfortunately, sitting properly and in a chair no less is the equivalent of torture for me. My shoulders both cramp in excruciating pain. My usual work space is plopped on the sofa, lounging with my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI hope you know you'll now need to post a video of you playing. ; )
hahaha... not in this life time. I've tried the couch thing, but I truly need "a space" that's just for writing. It helps keep my ADD and OCD in check.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Calista - I like comfy :) I do most of my writing sitting on my bed or my favourite comfy living room chair.
ReplyDeleteI do love your set though - very appropriate for your genre!
Thanks, Jemi!
